What are the legal issues relevant to surrogacy?
You want to make sure that your attorney can and does advise you about the relevant laws in the state in which you reside and/or the state where the surrogate lives and will deliver. This will impact how you will obtain a birth certificate with your names on it after the delivery of your baby. You want to make sure you are only working with a surrogate who lives and will deliver in a surrogacy friendly state. You also want to be assured that your surrogacy agreement is drafted by the attorney with the relevant state language contained therein.
